Optimization Design of Fast Neutron Target Station Beam Extraction Based on Genetic Algorithm by QIN Ziqian1, 2, 3, TAN Xinjian2, 3, ZHANG Xiaodong2, 3, PAN Qingquan1, LIU Xiao2, 3

“…Considering the special requirements of high-repetition-rate proton pulses from the accelerator and the off-target facility (OTF) method for calibration, it is necessary to reduce the impact of scattering on the trajectory of neutrons generated by the target to obtain the highest possible proportion of uncollided neutrons. At the same time, to achieve a lightweight and compact structure for the target station, constraints were also placed on the dose rate around the measurement point, mainly referring to the neutron flux values outside the diameter range of 5 m to ϕ50 mm from the compound target during the optimization process. …”

Development and application of the 3-PGCj model for predicting stand growth of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) plantations by Hung-En Li, Ching-Chu Tsai, Kai-Chih Yin, Yen-Jen Lai, Su-Ting Cheng

“…However, environmental and climatic conditions can cause variation in optimal timings across plantation areas. Calibration of FR improved model accuracy, demonstrating the influence of site conditions and climatic factors on stand growth, with higher FR values observed at higher elevations and frequent fog. …”

Estimates of the statistical correlation between the extreme ice pressure patterns with various spatial resolution by S. V. Klyachkin

“…For example, as the preliminary calculations show, if the spatial resolution of the numerical model equals 50 km, the extreme ice pressure in the scale of 1 km can exceed the mean value by 5–7 times. It gives on opportunity to obtain more comprehensive picture of ice pressure, and, as the method would be developed further, to increase significantly the informative value of the ice pressure forecasts. …”

Long-Term Prediction of Mesoscale Sea Surface Temperature and Latent Heat Flux Coupling Using the iTransformer Model by Xuwei Hu, Yuan Feng, Jiahao Liu, Yuanxiang Xu, Shengyu Song

“…Mesoscale air–sea interaction, which is active in Western Boundary Currents (WBCs), has a non-negligible effect on mid-latitude climate variability. The analysis and prediction of the mesoscale air–sea interaction rely on high-resolution observation datasets and mesoscale-resolving climate models, which often require long processing times to estimate future changes and have several limitations. …”
